I am glad to hear Toby is adapting well. It is amazing what they can go through. He could have had his whole leg amputated and he'd still hunt as hard as before. I had a sharpei mix that came down with tongue cancer. Had the tumor removed and he was receiving experimental treatments from the univ. of Wisc and then the tumore grew back like an ice berg under the surface. Had the tumor removed again and then 2 weeks later he wouldn't drink and was in severe pain. It was time and we had him put to sleep. It sucks, not because it cost over $5,000 but because he had suffered needlessly for the last 2 months of his life because the vets gave false hope for what I believe was nothing more than medical research.

I'm good Sproul, not been around much.

Yeah, I think the dog's sometimes hold on so long because they know we want them to because it's what is best for us. There is nothing in the world like a dog's love and loyalty.
